There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Thirteen

"They really seem to be surprised by us, don't they?"

"If this is the power they have, I don't see how they could ever hope to be heroes."

"Aw, don't say that. Some of them are really powerful. Well, I'm assuming. We just haven't seen anyone super strong like us yet."

"Hmm. We will see."

Mimosa and Yuno continued to hold their little conversation on 1-A's side of the gym while Asta and Noelle across from them were having their own.

"That was so awesome, Noelle! You have gotten so much stronger!"

"O-of course I have, Stupid-sta! I'm a Silva after all."

"Ah man! I wanna go next! Hopefully they'll give me someone super strong!"

"Whatever. I'm sure they'll be no match for you. I-I mean cause they haven't been for Yuno or I!"

The students were dead silent, still completely amazed by what they had witnessed. Toshinori and Sekijiro were talking quietly to themselves while Nemuri placed a hand on Aizawa's shoulder.

"This is definitely not what I was expecting, Shouta." The R-rated hero whispered to the other, her eyes flickering between the pairs of mages.

Aizawa smirked briefly before his usual stern look came over his face once more. Clapping his hands together, he brought back attention once more to him.

"Next up, let's have Katsuki Bakugou and Asta."

"FINALLY!" Bakugou stomped forward, ignoring the warnings from his friends. "I'm going to put you in your place!"

He may have seemed overconfident, which he was for the most part, but he was also aware of the fact that these people were not as weak as they first seemed. He knew that Asta said he didn't have any true magic, but he doubted that meant much in regards to his anti-magic. Stopping in his spot, his eyes burned bright as he calculated how to take the mage down.

Although Asta was extremely excited, he kept his face cool and strode forward, taking his place on the field. As he did before any fight, he centered himself, trying to clear his head and instead focusing in on his opponent, getting a lock on his ki. At Nemuri's signal, he let Bakugou make the first move.

"OI! YOU LITTLE SHRIMP! COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT!" Charging forward, Bakugou's hands began to hold mini explosions.

Asta grinned, intrigued by his opponent. He had been able to gather that this student in particular had a fuse in him, and he was completely ready to take it on, full force. "ALRIGHT! HERE I COME!"

His grimoire began to glow a myriad of red and black, pulsating in the air. From within it, he drew out his Demon-Slayer Sword, gripping it tightly in both hands. Bakugou thrust his hand forward, a large explosion rocketing forward. Asta turned his sword in his hands, the edge facing forward, easily slicing through it.

Grinning madly now, Asta rested crouched low.

"IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!"

Dumbfounded that he had cut right through his explosion, Bakugou grit his teeth and sent two more directly at the mage. With another readjusting of his sword, Asta this time deflected the explosions back at the student with the flat of his blade. Bakugou barely managed to dodge it in time, sliding off to the side. He wiped at his face, grinning madly now as well.

The students began to murmur amongst themselves, shocked at what Asta had done.

"D-did he just block his explosions?"

"And send them back at Bakugou?"

"What the heck even is his quirk?"

"Nullification... oh wow..."
